Over June and July of this year, Vadim and two friends embarked upon a grand tour of some of the best climbing the US has to offer. With a difficult alpine endeavour, the Incredible Hulk, as their eventual goal, they honed their skills at legendary climbing areas – from Devil’s Tower to Indian Creek, and eventually in the Valley itself. 

This trip had it all: desert towers, backcountry walls, rockfall misadventures, a tent with a porch, and a couple of dudes in denim short shorts. 

Come and witness what you’re missing in the American West!

Oct 28th 8pm @ Casual Bites, Westlands

Social night on Tuesday 14th October from 8.00pm onwards. 

In November 2013, Florian Keller left Nairobi in a 1997 Toyota Landcruiser. His destination – Rio de Janeiro and the 2014 Football World Cup. 199 days and 42,000 km later, he crossed the border from Bolivia to Brazil, three days before the opening match of the World Cup.

While the August slide show covered the journey from Nairobi to the Pacific Ocean, the September slide show will bring the second part of the journey to life. 

After exploring awesome pre-colonial Aztec and Maya sites in Mexico, Florian and his travel companions crossed Central America and climbed some of its hundreds of stunning volcanos. A final sea journey passing dozens of pristine tropical islands of the San Blas archipelago took them from Panama to Colombia. From here, they drove along the mighty Andes through Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia, crossing en route countless high altitude mountain passes and exploring some of the most spectacular mountain scenery on earth. 

Venue: Casual Bites @ 8:00pm

All are welcome

The social gathering will be at Casual Bites, Centro House, (CB is right next to Open House Restaurant) on Tuesday, September 9th from 8:00 PM.
